Ruben Amorim will face his biggest test yet when the Red Devils travel to face the Gunners in a midweek clash at the Emirates. Here are predictions, team news, betting tips, and possible line-ups for the game.

A 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest, a 5-2 thrashing of West Ham, and a 5-1 demolition of Sporting Lisbon in the UEFA Champions League suggest that Mikel Arteta's side are back to their best since the most recent international break.

The Gunners will hope to show Manchester United's new manager, Ruben Amorim, who has made a promising start, that they are arguably the best team in the league.

A 4-0 victory over Everton, with braces from Rashford and Zirkzee, and a 3-2 win over Bodo/Glimt have seen the Red Devils rediscover their confidence.

Amorim's side, once struggling in the bottom half, now have their sights set on a top-four finish and potential Champions League qualification.

Arsenal vs. Manchester United Head to Head

Recent history heavily favours Arsenal in their upcoming Premier League clash against Manchester United.

The Gunners have secured victories in their last three league encounters with the Red Devils, a streak they have yet to extend to four matches.

United's away form at the Emirates Stadium has been particularly poor, with seven losses in their last nine visits. They have failed to win in their last six trips, suffering defeats in the most recent three.

Arsenal's dominance at home against United is also evident. In their last three home league matches, they have emerged victorious with identical 3-1 scorelines.

This level of consistency has not been seen since the Gunners themselves achieved seven consecutive 3+ goal wins against United between 1970 and 1978.

Arsenal vs. Manchester United Team News and Possible Lineups

Arsenal will remain without defenders Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu, who are expected to be out until next year.

Gabriel Magalhaes' availability is uncertain following his recent injury, which is the same for Mikel Merino (knee), Thomas Partey (muscle), and Myles Lewis-Skelly (unspecified), who all missed the win over West Ham after picking up injuries in training.

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes is a major doubt for their crucial clash against Arsenal after limping off against Everton. The Portuguese star was seen with an ice pack on his ankle, sparking concerns about his availability.

Lisandro Martinez and Kobbie Mainoo are definitely out due to suspensions, while Jonny Evans, Victor Lindelof, and Leny Yoro remain sidelined with injuries. Harry Maguire, however, is fit and could replace Martinez in defence.

Arsenal Predicted lineup (4-3-3)

Raya (GK); Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori; Odegaard, Jorginho, Rice; Saka, Havertz, Martinelli

Manchester United Predicted lineup (3-4-3)

Onana (GK); Mazraoui, De Ligt, Maguire; Diallo, Casemiro, Ugarte, Shaw; Zirkzee, Garnacho; Hojlund

Arsenal vs. Manchester United Predictions & Betting Tips

Arsenal, currently in fine form, will look to exploit United's fresh shape and ideas under Amorim. While the Red Devils have shown a positive change, a clash of this magnitude seems to early for them under a new manager.
